ASH AND GARBAGE RECEPTACLE.

SP1 C'IPICA'IIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 434,196, dated August 12, 1890.

Application filed Me y 21,1890. Serial No. 352,619. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, PATRICK NORTON, of Jersey City, New Jersey, and JOHN H. MO- CLURE, of Brooklyn, NewYork, have invented an Improved Ash and Garbage Receptacle, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an ash and garbage receptacle that is adapted to etfectively withstand rough handling.

This invention consists in the various fea-.

rib a are parallel with each other, Fig. 2, in

contradistinction to the two diverging sides of corrugations. The longitudinal inwardlyopening groove formed between the sides of each rib should be filled up with zinc or other metal, as shown at the lower right-hand ribs, Fig. 2. In this way the ribs will be made of superior strength. By making the two sides of each rib parallel each side will be placed nearly in the position of a radius to body a,

5 and thus the ribs are well adapted to withstand strain. Moreover the sides of the ribs are protected against. being themselves bent or injured, inasmuch as the edge alone of each rib will receive the impact in handling. 1) is the bottom of the reoept-acle,wl1ich sets upon a flanged ring 0, which is slipped into the lower end of body a. The ring 0 is riveted to the body a by rivets c. The lower This body is 7 end a of each rib a is bent sidewise to lie flush upon the body, thus constituting a triangular flap, as shown in Fig. l. The rivets 0 pass through flap a body a, and ring 0, and thus properly hold the flaps as well as the ring in place. As the receptacle in transportation is frequently rolled on the lower edge, like a barrel, the lateral bend in'the ribs prevents them from striking the sidewalk. At the top the ribs a do not extend quite to the upper edge of the body a,but are out off to leave suflicient space for a flanged ring d, which is slipped over the body. The horizontal flange d of this ring extends over the upper edges of the ribs, thus protecting these edges and producing a neat finish. Rivets d secure ring d to body a.

e e are the handles of the receptacle.

It will be seen that in our improved receptacle the body a is properly protected by strong fenders, and that the receptacle may be freely handled withoutinjuring such fenders.

' What we claim is- 1. The combination of the receptacle a, having radially-proj ectin g ribs 60', that extend not quite to the top of the receptacle, with a flanged ring (I, that is placed around the receptacle between its upper edge and the upper edge of the ribs, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of the receptacle a, having radially-projecting flanges a, that are bent at their lower ends to form flaps aiwith the bottom I) and flanged ring beneath the bottom within the lower end of the receptaole, and with a ring d around the upper end of the receptacle, substantially as specified.
